“Some of the rolls of wire had about 8,000 feet on them and weighed around 8,800 pounds,” said Jack Wilkinson, a project manager in ORNL’s Laboratory Modernization Division. “We had to run 12 conductors a total of 2.5 miles for about 160,000 feet of large wire overhead. There were about 50 employees on the project scattered throughout the area at any given time.”
